Great post. Thanks for sharing. I ordered the J-24 on Crush. I’m a big Jiashi fan. when I contemplated the options , however, I took a chance on the Vuleokldly because it came in horsehide and it had the red check wool lining like my Original Buco. No fur collar though. I wasn’t impressed with older Vuleokldly but the last one was right up there with Jiashi so rolled the dice. Coming any day . Will post a picture. One Question - you rated Double Helix 4/10 on hardware but said it was very good?
